Haku could be set for additional WWE appearances after recently aligning with his sons Tama Tonga and Talla Tonga.

The WWE legend returned to television on the July 31 episode of SmackDown, where he aligned with Tama and Talla. Haku has since continued accompanying his sons, serving as their manager for a match against Nathan Frazer and Axiom on WWE Main Event.

The match was taped before Monday’s episode of Raw and aired Thursday on YouTube, with Tama and Talla picking up the victory.

With Haku now making multiple appearances, questions have emerged over whether his return is intended to become a regular part of WWE programming.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, it has not yet been confirmed that Haku is back with WWE on a full-time basis. “We’ve been asked by several readers is Haku will regularly be on WWE programming going forward. While we have not heard 100% he is in full-time, Haku is already in Boston ahead of tonight’s Smackdown and will be appearing tonight.”

That confirms Haku is scheduled for another appearance on Friday’s SmackDown, continuing his involvement with Tama and Talla following their recent alliance.

There is currently no confirmation regarding whether Haku has signed a new WWE contract or how long the company intends to use him in the role.

For now, however, his involvement appears to extend beyond a one-off return, with Haku set to make another appearance on SmackDown tonight.
